I have a simple and brittle system to track people and facts and associations on Newspapers, which is basically: "LLM extract people, places/projects/structure/places and save them as an Obsidian compatible graph network."

For 2 or 3 newspapers it works; my idea was to use it as grounding to discover relationships between people, companies and jobs.

As for the "everyone's life", I have always assumed that there would be a graph system to point to "forgotten" documents.

Gemini said my idea was amazing and new in its implementation, even if not in spirit, but I'm assuming it was being sycophantic as usual.

I always find it better to ask LLMs why this is bad and to explain itself why it thinks so. Sometimes it might hallicunate stuff but forcing it to find out the negatives is better than asking it for opinion since i am guessing they found early in training that an agreeable LLM is better received than one which is constantly truthful and considers you to be pretty dumb.
